 KATHY LINDSEY has been influenced by the talents of her father, an accomplished jazz musician, and with his guidance she learned to read and write music when she was only 8 years old. In her early teens, she began her musical career playing guitar and singing in various local talent and variety shows. Having grown up in a musical family, it wasn't long before she joined an all-female rock band back in the early 1970s and was touring the Northeast Coast at the young age of 16. Inspired by the sounds of Joni Mitchell, Joan Baez, and Judy Collins, Kathy decided that solo work would give her the freedom to express her creativity while developing a style of her own. Soothing vocals, along with her unique and intricate style of guitar-picking are reminiscent of the artists and era from which she draws inspiration. Whether it be traditional folk music, classic rock, blues or her original songs, this professional entertainer with her warm stage presence, makes the music she plays her very own.

(MAP)

Groove to the sounds of DELL SMART & EXIT/IN with special guest HOLMES as they perform a full evening of lively Caribbean music at Foxborough's Fusion 5 night club!

A great spot to discover new, live original music on a Thursday night!
 At age 12, Dell Smart started singing pop and traditional Caribbean music at clubs and parties. When his family moved to L.A., they left him behind in Belize. Although they planned to move him once they could afford to, Dell just couldn't wait. With his brother, he hitchhiked through Mexico on their way to L.A., playing cantinas for food and pesos. Once in L.A., Dell and his brothers formed "Dell and the Sensations". With the hit song "Tears On My Pillow", they gained recognition on the west coast and put Belize on the musical map. However, love moved Dell to the east coast. Being musically driven, Dell wasted no time starting a new band: Exit/In. After trying out a number of different people, he finally found a group of musicians who like a challenge. The members of the new band learned the music of Belize and Dell's brothers. As a group, they each bring their own aggressive slant to new compositions. Dell Smart and Exit/In continue their global reach by keeping their heart open to new musical signs. Their debut CD, "Sure 'Ya Right" is the band's first turn in a new direction. From the blues of "Inside a Broken Heart" to the fast paced "Pomona Valley" to the reggae cover of Bob Dylan's "Knockin' On Heavens Door", they showcase their ability to write and perform in a variety of styles. www.dellsmartexitin.com
Special guest opener, HOLMES is a unique 6-piece band that serve up R&B/Funk/Soul and Blues Old School Style. Elements of Stevie Wonder, Marvin Gaye, Al Green, The Neville Bros are combined with solid musicianship of 6 people who collectively are no stranger to making music in front of crowds whether it be 150 to 10,000 people. www.holmesband.com

Fusion 5:
105 Washington Street (Route 1), Foxborough, MA, USA
(MAP)
- Join RISING TRIBE at Fusion 5 in Foxborough, MA on Thursday, September 15th with special guests 3RD MAN FACTOR and SARAH LEVECQUE BAND! 18+ show; cover $5 (21+) / $8 (18-21). Showtime is at 8pm.
 RISING TRIBE is classified as Island Alternative Rock, but fans enjoy its varied musical styles, including Country, Celtic and Reggae. Memorable melodies and relatable, poetic lyrics fuse with funky bass lines, driving percussion, multi-genre sax riffs, and intense vocals to create the Tribe sound. The Tribe's Reggae show has become a favorite of both fans and venues throughout New England. Singer/guitarist Tiffany Gassett writes all of Rising Tribe’s material. And yes, the accent you hear on her Reggae tunes is real–she grew up on the island of St. Thomas! Rising Tribe has played countless festivals and has opened for numerous national acts including Hothouse Flowers at Showcase Live last year in March. Visit Rising Tribe's Official Website: www.risingtribemusic.com
 Take the old rock styles of The Grateful Dead and The Allman Brothers and mix it with the newer styles of DMB and moe. Throw in an incredible sax and you have 3RD MAN FACTOR. The immense energy created by these 16 year olds has led to a band that breaks the age barriers, drawing both old and young crowds together to share the love of the music with each other. Solid drumming by James Massucco keeps fans on the edge of their seats (if they aren't already up dancing in front), allowing for Riley Feeney to make improvisational grooves and switch ups on bass. This rock hard foundation creates perfect opportunities for both guitarists, Luke Tobin and Jake Shea, who switch off lead and rhythm, to capture the crowd's attention with catchy riffs and creative solos. With the addition of sax player Kyle Champeon, who plays with incredibly intense passion, 3MF guarantees that no show will ever be the same. Top this off with soulful lyrics and the band is certain to turn heads. However, no one band member attempts to capture the spotlight. Instead, they share it, switching the center of attention throughout the song. The unity of the five boys creates a sound like no other band. The energy cannot be stopped and the passion of each member keeps the music filled with soul, performance after performance. Visit 3rd Man Factor's Official Website: www.3mfband.com
 SARAH LEVECQUE is a singer/songwriter/guitarist. A Maine native, she now resides in Massachusetts with her guitarist partner Peter Zarkadas.

- TELESMA LIVE IN NEW ENGLAND AT THE MAGIC ROOM GALLERY
-
The Magic Room Gallery:
155 North Beacon Street, Brighton, MA, USA
(MAP)
- Don't miss this rare New England appearance of Telesma with special guest dancers Shakti & Kalidasi, plus Leyla of
Indra Lazul. Taste the color of sound! Doors open at 7:30pm; showtime is at 8pm.
 The TELESMA experience is an ecstatic trans-cultural phenomenon with a highly infectious and danceable beat. Exploding on the Baltimore music scene in 2002, it soon developed a loyal local fan base and then shook the underground festival scene from coast to coast. Alex Grey, the noted visionary artist, hailed Telesma as “shamanic…with a sense of an underlying universal wisdom…a rare combination in a rock/techno band.”
Telesma’s blurs the line between performer and audience, attracting the most creative VJs, dancers, visual artists and body artists to its shows. Every Telesma show is a vortex of creativity; a celebration of body, mind and spirit. The didgeridoo and manDrum too. Telesma’s vast arsenal of musical finery includes instruments as divergent as the didgeridoo, kubing (bamboo mouth harp from the Philippines), to electronic and tribal drums and the manDrum, one of the inventions of Telesma’s guitarist, as well as bass, keyboards, drum kit and the human voice. Hard to describe. Dancing is mandatory. Telesma’s sound has been sometimes described as “psychedelic tribal modern world dance music”, with diverse sounds ranging from intense polyrhythmic rock to the trance-like pulses of modern electronic dance/groove music. Telesma has been compared to Dead Can Dance, Pink Floyd, Tabla Beat Science, Amon Tobin, King Crimson, Ravi Shankar, Krishna Das, Afro-Celt Soundsystem, Bob Marley, Sun Ra Arkestra, Thievery Corporation, Tool, Mickey Hart’s Planet Drum, and Peter Gabriel, to name a few.
“To experience Telesma live is to become part of the show. More than just music, it’s a swirling, whirling, twirling event…it’s extremely hard not to become involved in the swaying, hypnotic rhythms that pour forth from the stage.” — Michael Macey of the Chesapeake Music Guide

-
Showcase Live:
23 Patriot Place (next to Gillette Stadium), Foxborough, MA, USA
(MAP)
 Showcase Live and Skyworks Productions proudly present...NUTSHELL: Recreating the entire Alice in Chains MTV Unplugged Performance!
This year marks the 15th Anniversary of Alice in Chains’s legendary MTV Unplugged performance, and Boston’s premier Alice in Chains tribute band, Nutshell recreates the infamous acoustic set in its entirety to celebrate! In April 1996, Alice in Chains emerged from a three-year hiatus by performing on the MTV Unplugged show, the acclaimed acoustic mini-series that allowed viewers to experience popular rock bands performing their material in its basic, purest musical form. Filmed at the Brooklyn Academy of Music in New York, the Alice in Chains episode turned out to be one of the most memorable editions of the series, and critics and fans alike hail it to be one of the best live acoustic performances of all time by a rock band. The band’s highest charting singles and heavy duty grunge-rock opuses such as “Rooster” and “Heaven Beside You” went over beautifully in their new, tight and emotionally-charged acoustic delivery. A live album of the performance was released in July 1996, which debuted at number three on the Billboard Top 200 chart, and was accompanied by a home video release. The album received platinum certification by the Recording Industry Association of America and the home video received gold certification. While the performance was one of Alice in Chain’s final appearances with vocalist Layne Staley, Nutshell keeps the spirit alive by capturing its essence and presenting an authentic “unplugged” tribute show that honors the raw talent of this amazing band. A rare show you don’t want to miss! www.myspace.com/nutshellboston
 Former vocalist for Beware the Ides and Rawhead Rex, singer/songwriter Eric "Swede" Jernstrom, brings his powerhouse vocals and emotional music to Showcase Live for a rare one-night only acoustic performance.

 In today's world where the appetite for celebrity knows no limits, the by-now familiar concept of the "tribute band," frankly, deserves cautious approach. But The Soft Parade is something unique and special...
The Soft Parade is revered worldwide as THE premiere Doors tribute show. They recreate, with stunning accuracy, the primal, poetic atmosphere of a vintage Doors concert. From the vintage musical instruments and sound equipment right down to the stage clothing and hairstyles - watching The Soft Parade is as close to seeing The Doors as anyone can possibly get. The Soft Parade has toured 20 countries, been joined onstage by original Doors guitarist Robby Krieger and has performed hundreds of concerts worldwide.
Fronting The Soft Parade is singer Joe Russo whose likeness to the legendary Jim Morrison holds audiences spellbound. He looks Morrison. He moves Morrison. And most importantly, he sings Morrison. Drummer Vic Ruiz pounds his Ludwig drums with the same unique, jazz- oriented stylings created by John Densmore. Keyboardist Mike Abel, intensely hunched over his vintage Gibson keyboard and Fender piano bass, captures the fluid rhythms of Ray Manzarek. Guitarist Joe Bilotti plays his Gibson SG, reproducing the same strange, unearthly sounds and unconventional style of Robby Krieger. Together these musicians have captured the magic and majesty of a past era, and have mastered a repertoire of over 50 Doors classics. Come, experience what it was like seeing The Doors live in concert! www.thesoftparade.com

ANDREW GREENE
Delta blues meets classic rock meets folk-pop is one way to describe Boston-area singer/songwriter Andrew Greene, whose infectious raspy vocals deliver raw passion and innovative phrasing. Combine all that with advanced guitar techniques and soulful harmonica playing and it’s evident why this self-described "poet with a guitar" has gained the admiration of fans and fellow musicians. Andrew writes and performs soulful, swampy blues-style music. His unique vocal tone and thought-provoking lyrics, create a listening experience that's been gathering rave reviews from his audience and media alike. Andrew has a solid local fanbase and opened for The Marshall Tucker Band at Showcase Live in January 2010. With the release of his CD on October 3, 2010, Greene's music resonates throughout Boston and beyond. "Andrew Greene's poignant lyrics and unique approach to the delta blues style guitar make him a true original. He is definitely much more than a singer-songwriter.

- DEVON ALLMAN'S HONEYTRIBE with THE PEACHEATERS: AN ALLMAN BROTHERS EXPERIENCE
-
Showcase Live:
23 Patriot Place, Foxborough, MA, USA
(MAP)
- Say the name Allman and many things jump to mind: the epitome of Southern Rock, the original "jam" band, legendary live shows, the list goes on. There's pressure to perform when your last name is Allman, and Devon Allman does that and more with his band HONEYTRIBE. The son of legendary Allman Brothers' singer and organist Gregg Allman, Devon--whose guttural voice is reminiscent of his father and whose lead guitar-playing calls to mind his late Uncle Duane--delivers a powerful straight out the blues live performance. Devon has gathered a group of A-list musicians from mid-west America that has latched on to on to the jazzy, jam band elements of the Allmans and their brethrens in Government Mule to create music with heart and soul. "We are truly a brotherhood, I feel ultra honored to share the stage with these cats night in and night out," says Allman. The synergy of this band on stage is something to behold. Shifting from fiery delta blues standards to their own rock-based material, this band inspires all who bear witness to their live performances. Honeytribe has something for all music lovers. www.thetribalcommunity.com
